Our Verdict
Not the greatest offer (they have had $20 off previously and that included Target, but they no longer have the Target partnership). Still free $10 in items at CVS isn’t the worst deal going around.
Hat tip to Slickdeals
I did this before. It was a little weird. Prices on the website are high, and the selection is a lot more limited than the selection in-store. But if the price in-store is lower, you get the lower price. I don’t think you can use coupons / ExtraBucks, unless they’re loaded digitally on your card (in which case, you don’t see the discount when you order, but the store applies the discounts before giving you your stuff). In my case, there was a sale in-store on the items I bought, and I had a coupon on my card that ended up making the total only $6 (so this $10 discount didn’t take off the full $10); the guy in-store told me if I buy $4 more of stuff he’ll give it to me free.
Also, even though you can start the order in a web browser on a desktop computer, you need to use the mobile app to finish the order.
Picking up the order was also awkward. My store doesn’t have a designated parking area for this. I parked in the parking lot and was planning to walk to the store’s door and then open the app to tell them I’m there; but first I was sitting in the car for a while doing other stuff. When I eventually walked to the store, someone was standing outside waiting for me; I guess the app told them I had arrived based on GPS, even though I didn’t have the app open (i.e., it runs in the background).
can I use curbside to buy Milk? Thanks.
My discount disappeared after creating an account.
I don’t think the areas served by curbside pickup are correct. I received this deal via e-mail and several stores near me (Richmond, VA) are eligible through CVS Express.
(confirmed eligibility by adding things to cart and heading to checkout, discount was shown)
I just used the old locations, will update now 🙂
